Never actually did get Camp 1 in game. (I was squarely in Camp 1, btw) IIRC, the community was overwhelmingly in support of Camp 1, SD tested a bit internally, then came out and said it wasn't fun and did Camp 2. In my experience, Brad has a tendency to project his opinions as what's best for the game or as what the community wants. [e digicons]:fox:[/e]

[quote quoting="post"]Get rid of this idiotic one building of a type per settlement system. It's completely devoid of a single redeeming point. This isn't the modern age with fertilizers, most of the civilization is going to be farming. Your ability to produce should be dependent on those left over peons that aren't busy trying to feed themselves. How you use it should be up to you, not some silly one per settlement restriction. A city with no food source should

[quote who="4D" reply="6" id="2369486"]While Stardock has mentioned they want to support registering games which have been purchased at a retail store, meaning that Impulse can then catalogue a gamer's entire library of titles, this doesn't address the issue of people who can't acquire a physical boxed copy at all in their region.[/quote]The Publisher has to opt in for that as well. AFAIK, no publisher has so far. [e digicons]:fox:[/e]
I vote for pendants, artbook and OST at least. I'm iffy on the book as I don't know how tied together it and the game are. [e digicons]:fox:[/e]
[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="69" id="2354628"]I'm a tech-player, by nature. I turtle up, build my techs, then striek. That's how I play. No wonder SOTS drove me nuts![/quote]Ditto. I'll also add that if I want to play defensively or go for diplomatic options rather than wing it and I get offensive and speed options, I'll go 'Fuck that' and restart the game. That'll piss me off real quick and result in a mod to remove random techs in about 5 minutes. However, I reall
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="22" id="2365681"]I still prefer using MM/DD/YY in common usage just because it better matches how I actually speak. I say August 13th. Not the 13th of August. Now when doing anything related to program or when naming files using the date, I use YYYYMMDD - because that is simply superior to the other methods when it comes to sorting and/or finding specific dates.

Crysis>Tribes 2 in graphics. Crysis is a beautiful looking game. Crysis And no, gameplay does not equal graphics. Otherwise all we would have is boring Crysis clones. Seriously, what you are asking for is to make the same game over and over again, with slightly better graphics. If you had your way, there wouldn't be a 4x genre.

I just wanna say:[quote]Have some guy shoot lighting and take an Ogre's head clean off, only to have him eaten by something. Talk to some 13 year old and get his idea of "cool" and then clean it up a little.[/quote]That sounds entirely unappealing and generic. [e digicons]:fox:[/e]
[quote]Sure, it can sometimes make very good evolutionary-linguistic sense for the occasional verb or noun to hop the fence, grammatically speaking. But this willy-nilly use of constructions like 'x=fail' or 'x is covered in fail' just need to stop on account of their being ugly and stupid. Not to mention how handy the tactic is for purging any particular leader's speech of the slightest trace of accountability...[/quote]Fail. [e digicons];P[/e] [e digicons]:fox:[/e]</
[quote]If you could approach the level of sophistication in something like advance wars (large maps with terrain bonuses that affect stats AND movement) as well as (a few) soft counters that aspect of the game would be pristine.[/quote]I would absolutely love that.Advance Wars has an excellent combat system, with a lot of good mechanics. Side note: Advance Wars has plenty of hard counters. Take the missiles unit. At full strength, it can kill any air unit in one shot. </
[quote]The irony is so called "pirates" have a higher legitimate purchase rate than non-pirates[/quote]Uhm... what exactly is that supposed to prove?

I absolutely loved the first two C&Cs and still boot them up. Next three were also great, even if Generals was basically a new series. C&C3 though... Story is pretty good, even with their rendition of the Scrin. +1 for Kane still being a Magnificent Bastard. Acting was half-way decent. Music might as well have not been there at all. Gameplay was absolutely horrendous. As GDI or Nod, you spammed T1 tanks or T3 heavies. As Scrin, you spammed T3 heavies or T4 Motherships. <p
